Downtown Bellingham Shops And Stores

Downtown Bellingham is a delightful and relaxing place to shop
with its smaller stores, sidewalk cafes and coffee shops, but most
large department stores and businesses have relocated along Guide
Meridian. Much like Fairhaven, visiting Downtown Bellingham is less about
shopping than it is the experience.

The Downtown area is
Bellingham's cultural and nightlife district with live music and
happy crowds, many of which are students attending Western Washington
University.

Bellingham's Exciting New Waterfront Development

A major transformation of Bellingham's downtown and
waterfront is just around the corner as plans are being laid for the
redevelopment of a large parcel of property that was once a
toilet paper factory but what should be done with it?

The city of Bellingham is presented with an
enormous opportunity to redevelop virtually its entire waterfront
but it also presents some major environmental and political
challenges as well. Should the city dig canals and create a
tourist-friendly Amsterdam-like marina, shopping and entertainment
zone?, create a Pacific Northwest version of San Antonio's hugely
popular River-Walk with boat rides and waterfront cafes?, or do we
just dredge the area and turn it into a dolphin & crab sanctuary?
The location would be ideal for a coal shipping terminal but that
isn't likely to happen. Only time will tell what ultimately will
become of Bellingham's waterfront--let's hope its worth the wait.

Fairhaven
Historic District Shops & Restaurants
(South Bellingham)

Bellingham's historic Fairhaven district is more for browsing and
a relaxing afternoon outing rather than for serious shopping but it
is a pleasant place to visit.

There are a number of quaint restaurants and cafes and lots of
unique shops to browse. Fairhaven was once its own city before
merging with two other nearby cities, Whatcom, and Sehome which is
now simply known as Bellingham. There are art galleries and
gift shops to wander through and you can get a glimpse of Bellingham
bay and the ferry terminal which happens to be the beginning point
of the Alaskan Marine Highway. From Fairhaven you can board a ferry
to just about every major city in Alaska, or you can board boats to
Victoria B.C., or
whale watching excursion boats (Seasonal).

How To Get Here:
Take Exit 250 of Interstate 5 And Travel West - Follow Signs To The
Alaska Ferry Terminal

The Market

The brand new Market store in the beautiful Lakeway
Market Center is a giant upscale grocery store with
a Bakery/Deli/Pizzeria section that is practically a
food court all in its own. The wide, bright, and
long isles have an amazing selection of everything.
In this day and age we are used to a modern grocery
marts with a large selection but this Market grocery
store takes it to the extreme. It stocks all the
usual products you expect to see plus additional
lines of foods and food items you may not have seen
or can rarely find in other supermarkets, even the
other giant giant ones.

If you are coming to
Bellingham for food items you owe it to yourself to
visit the Lakeway Market store. Located two exits
south of Guide Meridian/Bellis Fair Mall. If you are
looking to grab a bite to eat you can either get
something there and enjoy it in their dining area,
or go to one of the other eateries in this small
urban village. There is a Rhodes Cafe, Subway
Sandwich Shop, and Little Caesars Pizza, and just
next to the shopping center there is a mexican food
restaurant as well.
